Essential Travel Tips
Always carry small denominations of Thai Baht for street food, markets, and smaller purchases.
Utilize Bangkok's excellent public transport: BTS Skytrain and MRT subway are efficient for getting around, especially to avoid traffic. Consider using Grab (ride-hailing app) for convenience.
Dress modestly when visiting temples and religious sites (shoulders and knees covered). Remove your shoes before entering temples and homes.
Stay hydrated! Bangkok can be hot and humid year-round. Carry a water bottle and drink plenty of fluids.
Bargaining is common in markets, but always do so respectfully and with a smile.

Local Insights & Tips
Thai culture emphasizes 'sanuk' (fun) and 'jai yen' (cool heart), promoting a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The 'wai' (a prayer-like greeting) is a gesture of respect; a deeper bow signifies greater respect. Always show respect to the Thai Royal Family. Be mindful of local customs, such as not pointing your feet at people or sacred objects.
